update on the pink thing...

so i'd decided (much because of your feedback) not to get the terry butterfly donna (pink) saddle, but when i got to my boyfriend's house last night he told me to close my eyes and hold out my hands...and there it was. :eek:

what a guy. i can't believe he's supporting his normally down-to-earth gf's obsession with putting pink parts on a MOUNTAIN BIKE. i am a lucky lady...so we'll give it a shot...i think it'll work...at least i hope so!

anyway, pics of the pinkified juliana coming soon.

He sounds like a winner!

There's nothing wrong with pink on your mountain bike!

Sweet pink hub! Can't wait to see the Juliana! I'm not really a pink girl myself- bike is black/ red/ yellow. But the new bike will be white-on-white and I can accessorize- er- upgrade any color I want.

OH!!! I just put that saddle on my road bike! I also have pink handlebar tape and pink bottle cages.
On my mountain bike, I have pink bottle cages, and a pink Chris King Headset, AND pink bar tape as my chain gard!
I LOVE PINK!!!

I have the Pink King headset, too, to match my hubs. But I don't know about pink tape on the chain stay. That gets pretty dirty! Mine would only be be pink for a few seconds. Then grey, then brown, then black then blacker!

he's complaining about pink PARTS!? i want a pink mountain bike! lol! i have no desire for a pink road bike... but something about a girlie pink mountain bike is so ironic! lol!

I really don't like pink, but if I had the legs to blast past all those XC boys (not likely, but a girl can dream...), there'd be something pretty special about doing so on a seriously pink, sparkly bike with foot-long streamers! :D

I just got one of the new pink Polar Bottles, and it is the most gorgeous shade of pink ever!!! You need one!!

I also have the pink Chris King headset & hubs. I'm not the best photographer, but here's a picture of my Rcky Mountain Element, anyway. I think it's just enough pink, not too flashy. :rolleyes:

BTW for any roadies out there Speadgoat is having another raffle for a Moots special edition road bike and just about every accessory is pink! The proceeds benefit breast cancer research. Check it out: http://www.speedgoat.com/raffle1.asp The raffle is being held on July 20th!

I have one of those too, and love it! It looks nice against the basic black bike.

kerry, that bike looks sick! good work. :D :D

Thanks ikkin! My husband hooked me up pretty good, this time! I was happy with just the headset, but he figured I deserved the set. Then he upgraded everything with full xtr components. He build everything up himself. What a guy! It's a great ride. :D
